For a local field F with finite residue field of characteristic p, we describe completely the structure of the filtered F_p[G]-module K^*/K^*p in characteristic 0 and $K^+/\wp(K^+) in characteristic p, where K=F(\root{p-1}\of F^*) and…
We show how the ramification filtration on the maximal elementary abelian p-extension (p prime) on a local number field of residual characteristic p can be derived using only Kummer theory and a certain orthogonality relation for the Kummer…
We give an intrinsic parametrisation of the set of tamely ramified extensions of a local field with finite residue field and bring to the fore the role played by group cohomology. We show that two natural definitions of the cohomology class…
This is an introduction to author's ramification theory of a complete discrete valuation field with residue field whose p-basis consists of at most one element. New lower and upper filtrations are defined; cyclic extensions of degree p may…
We give two specializations of Krasner's mass formula. The first formula yields the number of extensions of a $\mathfrak{p}$-adic field with given, inertia degree, ramification index, discriminant, and ramification polygon. We then refine…
We study a mass formula for Artin--Schreier curves of genus $g$ defined over a finite field $k$ of characteristic $p$. For an odd prime $p$ and for small $g$, we determine the number of $k$-isomorphism classes of Artin-Schreier curves of…
Given a $2$-adic field $K$, we give formulae for the number of totally ramified quartic field extensions $L/K$ with a given discriminant valuation and Galois closure group. We use these formulae to prove a refinement of Serre's mass…
We observe that some basic but fundamental constructions in Galois theory can be used to obtain some interesting restrictions on the structure of Galois groups of maximal $p$-extensions of fields containing a primitive $p$th root of unity.…
We study the class of polynomials that map a local field (i.e., the completion of a number field at a non-Archimedean place) into the subset of its $p$-th powers, where $p$ is the residue characteristic of the field in question. We present…
For a given positive integer $n$ and $K/\mathbb{Q}_p$ a finite extension of ramification degree $e$, we determine the number of finite Galois extensions $L/K$ with inertia degree $f$ and a single nonnegative ramification jump at $n$ as long…
We fix a prime p and construct new cases of pro-p extensions of number fields with restricted ramification and splitting, whose Galois groups decompose as coproducts of pro-p absolute Galois groups of local fields. As a consequence, these…
We consider the class of complete discretely valued fields such that the residue field is of prime characteristic p and the cardinality of a $p$-base is 1. This class includes two-dimensional local and local-global fields. A new definition…
In this note we extend some of the results of a previous paper \url{arXiv:math/0511593} to algebraically closed fields of finite characteristic. In particular, we show that there is an explicit expression in $n$ and $d$ which is divisible…
We investigate the first two Galois cohomology groups of $p$-extensions over a base field which does not necessarily contain a primitive $p$th root of unity. We use twisted coefficients in a systematic way. We describe field extensions…
Cyclic, ramified extensions $L/K$ of degree $p$ of local fields with residue characteristic $p$ are fairly well understood. Unless $\mbox{char}(K)=0$ and $L=K(\sqrt[p]{\pi_K})$ for some prime element $\pi_K\in K$, they are defined by an…
Let p be a prime and suppose that K/F is a cyclic extension of degree p^n with group G. Let J be the F_pG-module K^*/K^{*p} of pth-power classes. In our previous paper we established precise conditions for J to contain an indecomposable…
Looking forward to introducing an analysis in Galois Fields, discrete functions are considered (such as transcendental ones) and MacLaurin series are derived by Lagrange's Interpolation. A new derivative over finite fields is defined which…
We introduce a spreading out technique to deduce finiteness results for \'etale fundamental groups of complex varieties by characteristic $p$ methods, and apply this to recover a finiteness result proven recently for local fundamental…
For any prime p we consider the density of elements in the multiplicative group of the finite field F_p having order, respectively index, congruent to a(mod d). We compute these densities on average, where the average is taken over all…
Given a hilbertian field $k$ of characteristic zero and a finite Galois extension $E/k(T)$ with group $G$ such that $E/k$ is regular, we produce some specializations of $E/k(T)$ at points $t_0 \in \mathbb{P}^1(k)$ which have the same Galois…
